Shouldn't every classroom be captivating? Don't we want to captivate our students so that they want to learn, experiment, and engage in our classroom activities? This blog is dedicated to sharing innovative teaching ideas, new ways to use technology in the classroom, and creating students that are globally aware.

About Me

I teach advanced students in grades K-5 at a small rural school in Texas. I have been teaching for almost 15 years and enjoy learning new techniques and strategies to help my students learn and have fun doing it. I enjoy writing and sharing ideas as well as spending time with my precious family.

What is a Flipped Classroom?

I have recently accepted that flipping my classroom might not be a bad idea. After lots of research and classroom discussion, we will be using a modified version of this idea for our classroom. Since I only see my students once a week, this will give us an opportunity to communicate throughout the week. We will be able to participate in meaningful learning activities during class and our time will be better spent. I am excited about this new adventure and the role that it will play in my classroom.
